How Streetsville Scores
What Streetsville Actually Feels Like
Streetsville is Mississauga's greatest kept secret — a former independent town that was amalgamated into Mississauga in 1974 but has fiercely maintained its distinct village identity. Queen Street (the main street) is lined with independent restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, a pub, a hardware store, and a cheese shop — the kind of pedestrian street that most Mississauga residents drive kilometres to find and barely exists elsewhere in the city. The Credit River runs through the western edge of Streetsville, with trails connecting north and south. The housing stock is genuinely mixed: Victorian-era homes from the 1800s, craftsman bungalows from the 1920s–40s, postwar ranchers, and 1970s–80s infill. Streetsville GO Station connects to Union in 35 minutes. Walk Score 78 makes it Mississauga's second most walkable area after Port Credit. It's the neighbourhood for people who want to live in Mississauga without feeling like they live in Mississauga.
Schools in Streetsville
Streetsville is served by PDSB. St. Aloysius Gonzaga Secondary School (Catholic) is located directly in Streetsville and serves the community well for Catholic secondary students. Public school students attend Streetsville Secondary School (PDSB). Elementary schools are decent but PDSB overall ranks below Halton Region boards.
Getting Around from Streetsville
Streetsville has Mississauga's best transit situation outside Port Credit — Walk Score 78 means errands are possible without a car, and Streetsville GO Station (35 min to Union, Milton Line) is within walking distance for much of the village. Queen Street amenities reduce car dependence significantly. Credit River trail cycling is excellent. Highway 401 and 403 are easily accessible.
What It Costs to Live in Streetsville
Streetsville's housing market reflects its village character — diverse and interesting. Victorian/Edwardian heritage homes: $1.2M–$1.8M depending on condition. 1950s–60s bungalows: $1.0M–$1.3M. Newer infill detached: $1.3M–$1.7M. The variety creates more character than most Mississauga neighbourhoods but also means condition varies considerably. Credit River-facing properties command premiums.
Outdoor Life in Streetsville
Streetsville's location on the Credit River gives direct trail access to the Credit River Corridor Conservation Area — kayaking, fishing, cycling, and walking trails running north and south.
Central Streetsville park — events, farmers market (seasonal), green space at the heart of the village.
Multi-use trail running through Streetsville following the Credit River — connects north to Brampton and south through Mississauga.
The Credit River is Streetsville's standout natural asset — combined with Victoria Park and the trail system, it gives this neighbourhood genuine outdoor access.
Safety in Streetsville
Streetsville is one of Mississauga's safer neighbourhoods. The village commercial core creates natural street activity, and the established homeowner community contributes to community safety. Victoria Park and the main street generate year-round pedestrian presence.
Is Streetsville Good for Families?
Streetsville is a good family neighbourhood with genuine character advantages. The walkable village main street, Credit River trails, and community events (Founders Bread and Honey Festival) create a community identity missing from most Mississauga suburbs. School quality (PDSB) is below Halton options, which is the primary trade-off.
Adults and couples who value walkable village character above all else, GO Train commuters who want to walk to the station, Credit River trail enthusiasts, and those who want Mississauga addresses with non-Mississauga character.
Families for whom HDSB school board ranking is the primary factor, those wanting new construction, or those wanting quiet suburban streets (Queen Street generates noise and activity).
